Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of cake mix for this recipe?

While the chocolate cake mix works wonderfully with the cherries and chocolate chips, you can certainly experiment with other flavors. A yellow or white cake mix can be used for a slightly different twist.

Can I use fresh cherries instead of cherry pie filling?

You can use fresh cherries, but using cherry pie filling is much more convenient. If you opt for fresh cherries, you’ll need to prepare them by pitting and sweetening them to your taste.

How should I store any leftovers?

If you happen to have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can reheat them in the oven or microwave when you’re ready to enjoy them again.

Can I substitute margarine for butter in this recipe?

While margarine can be substituted for butter, the flavor and texture may be slightly different. Butter tends to provide a richer taste, so if possible, we recommend sticking with unsalted butter for the best results.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
  • Pour the dry chocolate cake mix evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  • Open the can of cherry pie filling and carefully spoon it over the cake mix layer. Spread it out as evenly as possible.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the stick of unsalted butter in the microwave. This will take about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Be sure not to overheat it.
  • Once the butter is melted, drizzle it evenly over the cherry pie filling layer in the baking dish. The butter will help create a deliciously moist and rich cake.
  • Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the top of the cake. They will melt and create a gooey, chocolatey layer.
  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cake mix layer comes out clean. The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on it.
  • Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. You can serve it warm as is or with your choice of toppings like whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
